Weapon-X
Days of Future Past
Apocalypse

I'm going to David this one and say they just weren't good. They managed to muff some of the most classic X-Stories...even Singer's "Apocalypse" was not good.

X3 is really the only terrible one. The others are decent and worth a watch. There are issues for sure with them. -- nm - Remlik Feb 6, 09:58 2
- They whelm in the extreme and that should not have happened. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 6, 09:59 1

I've only watched Weapon X of those 3. But will see Logan in theatre. It should bypass 99% of the back story shit I'm hoping -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 09:35 2
- all of those are miles better than the disaster that was The Last Stand. -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 09:47 1
  - which I've also never seen! :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 09:50
FTR: There is one on that list I have yet to even watch. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 09:33 2
- which is also telling. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 6, 09:33 1
  - Upon reflection, that is slightly deceptive. - Spawn Feb 6, 09:41
